Addictive Desert Designs Ditch Light Brackets for 2023–2026 Ford Super Duty

The Addictive Desert Designs Ditch Light Brackets are a bolt-on, low-profile pair of hood-hinge mounts that add supplemental lighting to 2023–2026 Ford Super Duty F-250, F-350, and F-450 trucks. Built from 1/8-inch steel with a hammer black powder coat finish, the brackets position lights near the A-pillar and accept LED pods from 3 inches up to 6 inches in diameter. Lights can be aimed forward or angled to the side to suit the application.

Positioned Where It Counts

Mounting at the hood hinge places supplemental lights near the A-pillar, keeping them out of the driver's sightline while pushing light well ahead of the truck. That placement means less glare back into the cab on dark trails or worksites and a wider usable beam spread than a bumper-mounted pod alone can provide. The brackets support both forward-aimed and side-angled orientations, so the same mount works for lighting a trail ahead or flooding a worksite to the side without additional hardware.

Built to Last in the Field

The brackets are cut from 1/8-inch steel and finished in a hammer black powder coat. That finish resists corrosion and blends with the factory hood and A-pillar trim rather than drawing attention. Steel construction at this gauge handles the vibration loads common on washboard roads and rocky terrain without flexing or loosening over time, keeping lights pointed where they were set.

Broad Light Compatibility

The brackets accept LED pods ranging from a 3-inch cube light up to a 6-inch pod, covering a wide range of popular auxiliary lighting options. That range means the brackets remain usable if lighting preferences change or if pods are upgraded later, without replacing the mount itself.

Who This Is For and Isn't

These brackets suit 2023–2026 Ford Super Duty F-250, F-350, and F-450 owners who want supplemental lighting for off-road trails, worksites, or overlanding use and prefer a low-profile hood-hinge mount that stays clear of the driver's sightline. They work with a wide range of 3–6 inch LED pods from popular auxiliary lighting brands.

These brackets do not fit Ford Super Duty trucks outside the 2023–2026 model years, nor any other make or model. LED light pods are not included and must be sourced separately. Installation requires removal and reinstallation of the wipers and wiper cowl.

Common Questions

What Ford Super Duty model years and cab configurations do these brackets fit?

The Addictive Desert Designs Ditch Light Brackets are designed for 2023–2026 Ford Super Duty F-250, F-350, and F-450 trucks. No cab or bed configuration restriction is stated for those model years and series.

What size LED pods do these ditch light brackets accept?

The brackets accommodate LED light pods ranging from 3 inches up to 6 inches in diameter, covering compact cube lights through larger 6-inch pods. Light pods are not included with the brackets and are sold separately.

How do these brackets mount, and what tools or steps does installation require?

The Addictive Desert Designs Ditch Light Brackets bolt directly to the existing hood hinges using a fully bolt-on process with no cutting or welding. Installation does require removal and reinstallation of the windshield wipers and wiper cowl to access the mounting points.

Can the lights be aimed in different directions once the brackets are installed?

Yes. The ditch light brackets allow mounted pods to be pointed forward for trail or road lighting or angled toward the side for worksite flood coverage, depending on the application. Aim adjustment is made at the pod mount rather than requiring bracket repositioning.

What finish do the brackets have, and how do they hold up to weather and trail use?

The brackets are finished in a hammer black powder coat over 1/8-inch steel construction. The powder coat provides corrosion resistance and a low-profile appearance that blends with factory hood and A-pillar trim on the Super Duty.
